My brows could be a bit higher and Im starting to see some of the old wrinkles and lines on my face, forehead, and upper eyelids coming back Still much better though and I am 46.... I get carded for cigs and alcohol though a lot so maybe its all in my head
I was warned NOT to do the face lift for 6 months when the swelling from FFS was gone, and soft tissue readjustment to my new bone/cartilage contours is complete. Doing a face lift at the same time as FFS (especially with jaw and chin work) will be, at best, 80% effective. FFS surgeons are reluctant to tell you this because they know that you have a much larger pool of plastic surgeons to choose from for a face lift, so you're not likely to come back for that face lift when the time is right.
I know you couldn't wait for the rejuvenation, Eva, and that's fine. You'll probably want a second face lift down the road to keep on being carded at the liquor store.
